Awards

USAspending.gov records $663,081,626,513 in Medical Assistance Program obligations under CFDA 93.778 with place of performance in California, across 17 awards. The join names both sides: the federal Medicaid assistance listing and California as geography. Seventeen award records against $663.08 billion is an extreme concentration — about $39.00 billion per award on average ($663,081,626,513 ÷ 17). That geometry is typical of large formula assistance to a state, not 17 clinic invoices. Obligations are not outlays. The pair is not a claim that California’s legislature created the CFDA or that every Medi-Cal claim sits as its own award row.

What a program–state join is

This page isolates CFDA 93.778 (Medical Assistance Program) and California (CA) place of performance. The $663,081,626,513 total is the USAspending program-by-state aggregate for that pair. California’s all-program hub lists other CFDA codes in the same state; the national 93.778 hub lists other states for the same listing. This cell is only the overlap.

Seventeen awards is not 17 hospitals and not 17 counties. Formula Medicaid assistance often appears as a small number of very large award records. The packet does not name the recipient (state agency, fiscal intermediary, or other). Treating 17 as a count of Medi-Cal managed-care plans would misread the grain of the table.

CFDA 93.778 without collapsing every HHS dollar

Catalog listing 93.778 is the Medical Assistance Program. Other HHS listings — Medicare, public health, research — use different CFDA numbers and different overlay paths. An HHS agency-state page for California, if present, uses awarding agency 075 rather than this program code. Mixing those tables with $663,081,626,513 would confuse filters.

The overlay /states/ca/programs/93.778/ is the table view of this exact pair. The national program page for CFDA 93.778 is the place to see the listing without a California constraint. This narrative restates 17 awards and the California dollar total only.
